Pa!

“Oh, fuck! Fuck you again! ”

“Meow!”

Lika, who was eating food at the castle mixed with profanity, cried out in surprise.

The reconstruction sits in front of the computer and buries its face into the palms of both hands. The screen was filled with blue screens due to errors.

“How long has it been since I fixed it? What a mess. ”

I'm complaining, but it's actually another old used computer. Since I was a college student, I've used it for more than seven years.

“Damn, but I'm glad it went bad after sending the manuscript. ”

Reconstruction sent up to three unstructured novels to the editors.

And I was about to make a mistake when I started writing four volumes. I was fortunate, but I was not sure how to write from now on.

“I have to buy a new computer. ”

I thought this might not be a bad idea to buy a computer.

The contract deposit was still about 1.5 million won. Around half a month ago, I spent ₩ 300,000 on my father's birthday allowance, and bought some of Lika's health food, food, and supplies.

‘No, no. I'm not relieved yet. ’

Reconstruction spoiled the thought I had just heard.

I knew it was money to spill alcohol when I started using it, even if it seemed generous.

Even if I paid the rent and utility bills that were coming back right away, I would go down to less than 1 million won. You're gonna buy that expensive computer here without even thinking about it next month? It was a story without the life of a man who wished to live only today.

‘I'm going to the PC room. I have to cut off my monthly semen for a while and use it. ’

It was full of novel content to write in my head. I felt like I would have to write quickly and release it. Reconstruction took a step back.

It was just then.

‘Oh, right. There it was!'

I looked at the reconstruction in the corner of the room.

There was a notebook belonging to Seo Gun Woo. The specifications were very low on old computers, but they did not seem to interfere much with writing.

‘Word was on it. It works fine, so I need to use it as soon as possible. ’

The reconstruction broke down, and I pulled my computer out of my desk and put it on the Seogunu laptop instead. After connecting the adapter and pressing the power button, a beep and boot started with a sound.

“You're a lot more ancestor than my computer has written for seven years. ”

Reconstruction connected the keyboard and mouse while talking to the booting laptop. It was no wonder he was more familiar with the keyboard than the primary keyboard on his laptop.

Glug glug!

I got a call from the editor.

Reconstruction answered the phone by double-clicking on the word program icon on the desktop.

“Yes, Editor. ”

- Hello, Mr. Ha. How did you manage to write three books in the first half of the week? Did you write this down?

“Haha, yes. By the way, the story is good at drinking. ”

The answer to the rebuilding was no lie at all.

Since some of Seo Gun-woo's dead memories came into my head, my own sense of writing changed.

I couldn't quite figure it out, but it seemed like it wasn't just a memory I learned from myself. Inspiration was constantly rising, and the sight of writing also increased. I could clearly feel the difference throughout my writing.

- Wow, so you didn't really write this down in the first place, did you?

It wasn't hard for the editor to be surprised.

Originally, the speed at which the reconstruction would write was one volume a month.

The full moon used to complete the draft and the remaining full moon used to correct the draft.

- I've been through three books. I don't think I have anywhere to look. You've been through a lot, Mr. Ha.

“No, the editor's having a hard time editing the missing article. ”

- Hahaha, no problem. By the way, Mr. Ha, I have some amazing news.

“Amazing news? ”

- You might want to hold on tight so you don't miss your phone.

The editor said, the hand of the reconstruction that grabbed the phone was empowered.

“What is it? It's not a bad thing, right? ”

- Maybe that's a good thing. There can't be a writer who doesn't like distillation, right?

“ ……?! ”

Reconstruction seemed to have been heard wrong at the moment.

What do you mean, "augmented"? The one I wrote? I could never believe the reconstruction. Beyond the radio, the editor's voice continues to howl.

- Are you listening to me? Writer Ha?

The editor was clearly aware of the reconstruction and was asking.

The reconstruction stood up in a daze and swirled around the narrow studio, then sat back down in the chair and replied.

“Yes, yes…… yes. I'm listening. ”

- Yeah, it's augmented. The shopkeepers are very responsive. I'm thinking 60 shops. So we decided to augment 1,000 copies.

“Yes? How many copies? 1,000 copies? ”

Reconstruction looks down at his wobbly legs and asks like an idiot.

With the emergence of e-books and paid-back markets, the paper side was a total challenge.

It was hard to digest 2000 copies per book. It's great to distill in a situation like this, not 100, but 1,000.

“Yes, Editor. You're not lying... are you? ”

I knew the editor wouldn't say anything stupid, but I had to ask him that. His two eyes still had his own studio room for 350,000 won per month on a deposit of KRW 5 million.

- Was I not so trustworthy? Why would you lie to a writer about this? Congratulations, Mr. Ha. I think the results of your efforts are starting to come out. You're actually going to make more money, and your life is going to be so much better.

Reconstruction contracted at 8% per volume.

The price of a book is KRW 8,000, so you will receive KRW 640 each time you sell it. If you sell 1000 copies, you will withhold KRW 640,000. You will withhold 3.3% of the tax, but you will receive that kind of profit anyway.

While the rebuilding was silent, the editor cheerfully concluded the conversation.

- Well, keep at it. I look forward to the next one. Don't overdo it. Oh, let's eat face to face soon.

“Yes, yes…… Editor. Thank you so much."

After hanging up the phone, I went to the refrigerator and drank cold water.

The excitement never calmed me down. I had to unwind this irresponsible joy somewhere, but there was no target. I wanted to call my sister or a friend, but it was time for both of them to work.

Finally, the rebuilding lifted Lika and shouted.

“Lee, Lika! Did you hear that? That's a thousand copies! ”

“Meow.”

“We're selling 3,000 copies for a volume! Then it's roughly 1.9 million won. Wow, really! The day has come when I can write a novel and make close to KRW 2 million on a volume! You think this makes sense? ”

“Meow. Meow. ”

When viewed by popular writers, it was not a big deal.

However, it was a remarkable achievement and a pleasant experience for the reconstruction of a long-standing writer who had only earned steady income.

“Okay, I'm going to keep feeling like this and keep writing 4! I'm going to write 4 in the full moon!" Look forward to the next month, Lika! I'll make a lot of money and buy you something really hot, like a cat tower or something! ”

Reconstruction was excited and began writing on Seo Gun Woo's old laptop.

The overall shells of the four books were already completed. The only thing left to do was to move it quietly into writing.

Ta-da! Tadahak! Tadahak!

On the monitor, the reconstructed letters spilled out.

The letters clumped together at the same speed as the light, becoming words, sentences and other paragraphs.

‘Now, here comes the protagonist getting punched in the back. One step backwards to blow up the Cida.... Hmm?!'

While I was concentrating and working hard.

Reconstruction suddenly stopped fingers on the keyboard due to a strange sensation.

‘Something doesn't feel right. ’

When I used to use it as fast as now, I used to get the feeling that the speed at which I was tapping could not keep up with my thoughts. But now the feeling was the opposite. I felt like the speed of hitting was ahead of my thinking ability.

‘Wait, no. What is this?'

Suddenly, the reconstruction that saw the total number of pages under the Word program opened its mouth.

Looking at the clock, it had only been an hour since I started writing. However, the number of pages in the B6 trillion edition is already exceeding page 20.

What's wrong with the file? How much did I write? ’

Reconstruction pressed on the document information by semi-revolution. And immediately, he gasps and takes a surprised breath. As his hair became soft, his whole body seemed to stand upside down.

Letters: 10,798 characters.

"Oh my God! You wrote more than 10,000 characters in an hour?!" ’

Reconstruction was never slower. Compared to other writers, it was more than average.

However, even when in good condition, the usual limit was 3500 characters per hour; 10,000 characters required at least 2 and a half hours.

‘This is not a problem because I'm in a good mood! ’

It is not writing a traditional book. It is a work of creating a completely new article.

But at 10,000 characters an hour. It's out of the realm of man, even when it's thinking to itself. Reconstruction fell into chaos in front of his own unbelievable results.

‘If this speed is maintained, you can write one book a day. ’

One unspoken novel is being rewritten before and after 140,000 characters. If you can maintain a speed of 10,000 characters per hour, you will be able to complete a novel in 14 hours. A month's worth of novels in one day?

‘Let's give it a try. ’
